Which UFC Hall of Famer admits steroid use on Inside MMA tonight?

June

Just got this bit of info from an HDNet press release:

ARE STEROIDS AN ISSUE IN MMA? MMA HALL OF FAMER ADMITS USE AND HALLMAN STUNS PANEL IN A MUST SEE DISCUSSION ON TONIGHT’S “INSIDE MMA”
Fighters make strong revelations about steroid use in the sport and usage during their careers – TONIGHT, Friday, June 11 at 9:00 p.m. ET

Tonight’s groundbreaking episode of HDNet’s “Inside MMA” presents a surprisingly frank discussion on a topic rarely talked about in Mixed Martial Arts – steroid use. How many fighters have used the substances to further their careers and how many are still using them today?

Mark Coleman – Coleman did spend a good chunk of his career in Pride, where steroid use was supposedly rampant. I doubt it’s him, though.

Ken Shamrock – My money is on him. More on that below.

Randy Couture – No way, no how. There wouldn’t be a chance that Couture would still be fighting at his age if he abused steroids earlier in his career.

Royce Gracie – Already tested positive for steroids, and vehemently denied any usage. I doubt he would embarrass the Gracie legacy by openly admitting steroid use.

Chuck Liddell – I doubt he would admit steroid use on the eve of headlining a PPV.

Matt Hughes – This gave me a chuckle because the UFC doesn’t even have him listed as a hall of famer on their website yet. Anyway – no. Hughes has always been a small welterweight.

I’d bet the house on Ken Shamrock. Look at the size of this guy during his stint in the WWE (WWF back then). He also spent a good chunk of his career in Pride. Shamrock has nothing to lose buy admitting steroid use, seeing as his career is all but over anyway.
